I realize that dental work is very expensive, but so is any other type of medicine. And most dental problems could have been prevented with regular checkups and good home care. I hear people everyday blame their dental problems on all sorts of things. Most of the time, a really great dentist or assistant can see through these excuses. Regardless of the reason though, why do you think that a dentist should do your work for free? (If you havent asked one to, this isn't directed at you) Do you not realize that before you, there were about 100 other people asking the same thing? And if you are claiming that your dental problems are the result of "no enamel", "my parents never took me to the dentist when I was a kid" and other similar reasons, that the dentist is not stupid, he knows that you haven't been doing what you needed to take care of your teeth. I am a dental assistant and the money that my dentist makes pays my salary, so no we cant take in every "free" case we are asked to.If a dentist constantly did this, how is he suppose to pay his staff? They are normal people just like you, who have bills to pay, kids to feed, and a mortgage. Why is it that there are a lot of people looking for free dental care?
